Jamel Debbouze - major French comedian. I sat behind him on a flight once when he was taking his mother to Saudi Arabia. He put his head on her shoulder to sleep. If his fans ever knew what a mama's boy he was, it could have been a source of embarrassment.

Semion Boudienny. Average or even under USSR marshall during WW2, he was known for his physical bravery and friendship with Stalin rather than competencies. But at least he survived the purges and died in his bed li c after the war.
I like Jamel, and even more after your post.
